"Mu Hanyan, I was originally planning to give you some face, but since you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being merciless." Mu Feng said with a dark face and gritted teeth.
"You'd better think about how to save your face. Don't run away and hide under the bridge for the night when you can't win, and then make me get scolded again." Mu Hanyan glanced at Mu Feng out of the corner of her eye and said indignantly, but her eyes were obviously full of disdain.
"Arrogant, too arrogant. A mere first-level swordsman dares to make such arrogant remarks in front of a fifth-level swordsman. Master of the family, is this how you educate your descendants?" The Great Elder slammed the table and questioned Mu Ruian.
In the Holy Court Continent, swordsmen are extremely noble, and the hierarchy among swordsmen is extremely strict. In formal interactions, lower-level swordsmen must salute higher-level swordsmen first, and they must not show any disrespect in their words, otherwise they will be beaten in vain, and no one will sympathize with them if the news gets out.
Of course, this kind of competition within the family does not have so many rules, but a first-level swordsman speaking wildly in front of a fifth-level swordsman without even the most basic respect does seem too arrogant and out of touch with the rules, and a few words of reprimand are justified.
In the final analysis, the Great Elder was eager to find an opportunity to bring trouble to Mu Ruian. Even if it was just taking advantage of the situation to disgust him verbally, he would feel good about it.
"How I educate the next generation is my own business, and it seems to have nothing to do with this competition. Let the younger generations solve the issues among themselves and let them speak with their own strength. Do we still want to bully the weak?" Mu Ruian retorted with just one sentence, his expression still as indifferent as before.
"Okay, okay, let's compete. Mu Feng, there's no need to save face for him, just treat it as a normal competition." The Great Elder originally wanted to disgust Mu Ruian by saying that he was not strict in teaching, but he was accused of bullying the weak by Mu Ruian. He was very unhappy and said with a cold snort.
I sneered inwardly: "You'll be embarrassed soon anyway, so I don't want to argue with you. I want to see what excuses you have for holding back, and what reasons you have for hoarding that Meridian Cleansing Pill, after my Mu Feng has beaten your idiot son like a dog in front of the whole clan."
"Don't worry, Grandfather. I will do my best." Without him saying anything, Mu Feng was not going to save face for Mu Hanyan. He walked towards the center of the martial arts field with a long sword hanging from his waist.
Mu Hanyan also walked towards him, her steps so balanced and her expression so calm and composed.
"Place your bets, place your bets. 10 to 1, I'm betting on Mu Feng to win. Anyone else placing any bets?" Before the two men started fighting, a young Mu clan member whispered in the crowd. His name was Mu Nan, and he was always a playful person, always the one who loved to join in the fun.
Even if this kind of internal family competition is not very serious, a junior will not be allowed to act recklessly. However, no one regarded this as a fair competition. After all, everyone came to see Mu Hanyan make a fool of himself and the head of the family lose face, so no one spoke up to stop him and let him make trouble.
"Tsk, everyone knows that Mu Feng won, so what's there to bet on?" The other young men of the Mu family around sneered.
"How about a 100-to-1 payout? Is anyone willing to place a bet?" Mu Nan continued.
"It's useless to pay one thousand for one. Who would bet with you when they know they will lose?" others said, looking at Mu Cheng as if he were an idiot.
"Mu Cheng, why don't you play with me?" Mu Nan asked Mu Cheng.
"What are you playing?" Mu Cheng was still in a daze. He didn't hear what he said and looked up blankly.
